i pissed my german teacher off!!

never never overestimate a woman's age... especially if she happens to be your german teacher...

3 weeks back, during a german class, we were learning the german pronunciation of numerical numbers and also how to describe one's age...

"Wie alt bist du?" aka "how old are you?"

so i conveniently came up with a number that is the easiest to pronounce... so i went:" funfundfunfzig Jahre alt!" aka 55 years old... and this happened when the teacher was asking the whole class to guess her age...

well well well... it was, expectedly, 6 years over her actual age...

so from then onwards, she either (a) is humorous and likes to make fun of me about overstating her age, or (b) is a mean and petty old woman who picked on me in every lesson since...

without fail, she will constantly remind me that i overstated her age... with the words :" vincent said i looked like 55 years old..." ringing in my ears at the end of each lesson...

and yesterday, unexpectedly, just when i commented that her sony vaio laptop look so cool, she said:" you said i look 55 years old, but my husband loves me so much that he gave me this computer..." arrrrggggggggghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!

conclusion: she is just one of the many insecure old women out there and i happened to step on (step on, trampled on, crushed..... whatever is the word) one of her many raw nerves the moment i uttered the number "55"...
